Veteran Appeals Decision Clarity: Improving Transparency and Understanding
This act aims to improve how decisions on veteran appeals are issued. It introduces new requirements for decision explanations, ensuring greater transparency and making it easier for veterans to understand why their evidence was or was not considered. This will provide veterans with a clearer view of the appeal process.
Key points
Appeal decisions must clearly state whether new evidence was considered, and if not, why and when it was received.
Decisions will need to include a written determination on whether the notice of disagreement was adequate and timely filed.
The goal is to increase transparency and comprehensibility of the appeal process for veterans.
